Description | The Resolution Copper Project is a proposed underground copper mine located near Superior, Arizona.

The project faces technical challenges due to its deep underground nature, requiring advanced cooling, ventilation, water management, and automated mining technologies. It has received final environmental approval in June 2025 but is currently delayed by a two-month court-imposed delay on the land swap approval necessary for project advancement. |
